In the deep winter of Zhoushan City, there is basically a light snow in two days and a heavy snow in three days.

There was still no sun out today, and Kyungwon pedaled three wheels for 3 hours, took a lot of detours, and sometimes even had to get out of the car and clean up the zombies that stood in the way like cutting down tree stumps.

Finally arrived at the Xiuhu Avenue gas station, which is a barely repairable place, and before winter comes, sometimes going back and forth between the southern suburbs and the city center, he will settle his lunch at the gas station.

Originally, this was the territory of the deformed goldfish monster, and the zombies around it had been cleaned up by the goldfish monster, so after he solved the goldfish monster, this place was relatively safer than other places.

He left a small amount of food and water at the transit station, and nothing else.

Kyungwon pedaled three wheels into the gas station's gas island, untied the rope on Tang Xue's body, loosened the scarf, and hugged her down.

She was originally asleep, but after such a fuss, she woke up again.

Kyungwon kicked open the office door, placed her on a dusty couch, and returned with a pile of scrap wood to light a fire with a lighter.

"Drink some water, it should still be warm." Kyungwon took out a black thermos mug from his travel bag and poured a glass of warm water into the lid.

The white mist fluttered, but the water was still hot and clear.

Jing Yuan helped Tang Xue sit up and handed her the lid of the cup.

She can drink water by herself, and she doesn't need Kyungwon to hold the cup for her.

But this does not mean that her condition has improved, just that after two days of recuperation, the frozen joints and muscles have recovered somewhat.

Kyungwon also drank some water, and by the way, he looked at the time, it was still early, it was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

The road from the city centre to the gas station is the hardest to walk, with many roads blocked by scrapped cars or hordes of zombies blocking the way.

If it weren't for the snow for a few days in a row, the zombies became extremely sluggish, and he wouldn't have been able to complete this journey so easily.

When you get to the gas station, the rest of the way is much easier.

The country roads he was most familiar with, all he could see were white snow.

The atmosphere was a little dull, Tang Xue didn't say a word, didn't sleep, and kept looking around.

Kyungwon pried the cans on his own, sat cross-legged by the fire, took out an old magazine from his travel bag, rested it on his lap, and ate it as he read it.

It's a teenager-oriented science fiction magazine, called "Science Fiction King", he read half of this one, he consciously collected a lot of books, and each "Science Fiction King" will record a lot of short stories of varying levels, most of which are written well. Missing a bit of an interest because the magazine seems to be open to students, and there are elementary school districts, middle school districts, and university districts.

However, there is a column called "Science Era" that will serialize medium-length science fiction with good quality, and there is a "Ice Age" that he likes very much, telling the story of the sun entering a terrible exhaustion stage ahead of schedule, the surface of the earth falling into ice due to the lack of light energy, and the story of the endangerment of all mankind.

The background is grand, but the actual content is a unit drama type story that uses various futuristic technologies to solve problems.

He saw this thing as "Doraemon", the protagonist "Xiaoxue" is an elementary school girl, and her family has opened a rescue house similar to the nature of the Everything.

Xiaoxue's parents couldn't get out of their bodies all day long, and when they encountered something, they asked Xiaoxue to find the "big white" robot, first find out the cause of the problem, and after some explanation, use super powerful future technology to solve the problem.

It's a pity that so far, he hasn't collected the full text of "Ice Age", usually "Ice Age" takes two books to see a complete short story, and most of the stories he reads have a beginning and no end.

Flipping to the "Science Era" column, he was lucky, he was a little impressed by this issue of "Ice Age", which was the second half of a certain part he had watched.

He read it with relish, and was ready to finish reading this one, and then pedal three more rounds.

"What episode of "Science Fiction King" is this?"

Tang Xue's voice, which had become muffled due to her illness, interrupted Jing Yuan's reading.

Kyungwon glanced up, flipped to the cover of the magazine, and read the inscription printed in the upper right corner: "The second half of December '14." ”

"You want to see it, I have a few more copies here." He took out a small stack of magazines from his travel bag and shook it in front of Tang Xue's eyes.

"I've seen it all." Tang Xue said this, but still stretched out her hand and pulled a random book,

She didn't open it, but gently rubbed the folds in the upper right corner of the magazine with her fingers, straightening them out in turn.

"Did you like watching "Science Fiction King" before?" Kyungwon asked.

"It's just that there is a person in the class who buys every issue, and when he finishes reading it, it will be passed to us, and it will be useless when we are bored." Tang Xue flipped through the magazine.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question, how old is you?"

“18。”

"Really?"

"Fake."

"How old is that?"

"I forgot, but I had my last birthday. Fourteen? Or fifteen? ”

"It's time to tell me what the survivors are like to the north." Kyungwon put down the magazine and looked at Tang Xue's face.

"Actually, there is nothing to say, the so-called survivors are just a group of people who have been left behind." Tang Xue said lightly.

"Leave it behind?"

"There's always someone to sacrifice, isn't it? It is not possible for everyone to go to a safe place. ”

"Who has forsaken you? Did you mention the army? ”

"Some people think so, but I think the army has done a good enough job, after all, they left a lot of supplies before leaving, and the first few years of the disaster were not as difficult as they are now, at that time everyone believed in one thing, believed that someone would come to rescue them soon, believed that tanks and planes would kill all the monsters."

"So. Now no one believes it? ”

"Yes, like me, I always dream that a nuclear bomb 'BONG' explodes all at once."

“.” Kyungwon was silent for a moment and then asked, "Are there many survivors in the north?" ”

"There was a lot of time, and they even helped each other, and during the best time, everyone could sleep peacefully, but people always change, and now they live by their faith and establish a sect."

"What kind of sect?"

"It's no different from other religions, they make up a god to find excuses for their suffering, in order to find psychological solace."

"Did you get any other news about that army?"

"The people of the sect decided that they were almost dead, and I thought that they were more optimistic, and I think that they had fled to the other side of the ice sea and established a new kingdom where there was only snow, and as for those of us outside, what did it matter to them to live or die?"

“.”

Jing Yuan didn't know how to reply, he thought that if there was really such an army that had organized the evacuation of residents, then the people who remained in Zhoushan City today were not abandoned?

Although Tang Xue lightly described the living conditions of the survivors in the north, how could these few sentences be clear for six years.

Jing Yuan peeked at Tang Xue's thin figure curled up in the futon by the light of the fire, and she stroked the printed date in the upper right corner of "Science Fiction King", as if she was missing something.

Kyungwon thought about those sunny days, and she was probably not alone.

It's just that some people suddenly disappeared from her life before they had time to say goodbye.
